Image of Turkey’s President Erdogan With Hamas Chief Yahya Sinwar Is Photoshopped

After Yahya Sinwar was appointed as Hamas’s new political leader, social media users widely circulated an image purporting to show Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan meeting with Hamas’s chief, Yahya Sinwar.

Israel Katz, Israel’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, first spread the image, along with the translated caption, “The new friend of Erdogan @RTErdogan, the head of Hamas, the mass murderer Yahya Sinwar. The Turkish people are ashamed of you!”
